Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a robbery call at the Wal-Mart off Sawdust Road after a woman said she was robbed around 3:30 p.m. She had unstrapped her purse from the grocery cart when a man came up from behind her and attempted to grab the purse from her grasp.

The two reportedly tugged back and forth on the purse until the man was able to jerk the purse out of her hands. The man who took the purse hopped in a waiting car, which then fled the parking lot eastbound on Sawdust Road.

Deputies spotted the vehicle when it turned southbound on Budde Road, according to reports. It turned east on Pruitt Road before crashing into a ditch as police attempted to stop the car. Police reportedly found the woman’s purse and other items connecting the suspects to the robbery in the car.

The two men allegedly bailed from the car. A deputy chased the two, eventually detaining one of them as the other fled into nearby woods.

MCSO K-9 and air support units were summoned to the area, along with Department of Public Safety and Houston Police Department helicopters.

Police captured the second man soon after at a nearby apartment complex.
